10 Prom Theme Ideas

Planning your school's prom? Here are some themes to consider. Remember, you need to pick a prom theme that will create a beautiful atmosphere and look great in photos. Use interesting backdrops and props and pay attention to lighting and details.

Make it an ultra-glamourous occasion by rolling out a red carpet; use red, gold, black and white as a colour scheme; create a backdrop filled with black and white pictures of Hollywood actors; have a paparazzi line for guests to walk by and create a Hollywood Walk of Fame for your school. Props: Oscar statues, a spotlight/searchlight

Do something different and create a dark and twisted ballet theme for your prom. Use the movie "Black Swan" as visual inspiration. Props: an artificial pond with swans, black feathers, mirrors, and silhouettes of ballet dancers.
